Students Satisfaction

This paper evaluates associations across the dimensions included in students’ surveys and virtual activities for applying educational models within e-learning graduate programs. Firstly, we focus on the outcomes derived from teachers’ and students’ participation in virtual classroom forums and, secondly, on the determinants of students’ satisfaction in the graduate program. Data analyses show that teachers’ and students’ participation in forums as dynamic educational activities are positively correlated with students’ general satisfaction. To study the determinants of students’ satisfaction, we perform a regression analysis that considers as explanatory variables educational planning, teaching qualifications and development of learning, as well as of a number of controls related to the virtual learning environment and participation in the academic program. According to the obtained results, teaching skills and learning environments are associated with higher students’ satisfaction in a virtual learning environment. This type of analysis is of great interest in a social environment characterized by increasing communication via electronic networking. We find that dynamic educational activities and dimensions taken on board on students’ surveys are related to students’ satisfaction in e-learning graduate programs.

This chapter reports the application and utilization of virtual learning environment (VLE) in schools, specifically focused on Malaysian schools. The VLE utilization is an initiative by the Ministry of Education (MOE) Malaysia in its vision to embrace the global changes and advancement of technology. With the advancement of the Fourth Industrial Revolution (IR 4.0), this topic is especially important to address. This chapter discusses the provisions of technology-based facilities and tools in schools as part of the change initiatives by MOE Malaysia, and the accompanied teaching and learning practices and trainings affecting the teachers and students. These efforts are exemplified through specific programs which have been implemented namely e-Portfolio in the Genosis Program and Google Classroom, and by linking such endeavors to the Malaysia Education Blueprint. These initiatives are always challenging especially when it involves the utilization of the exponentially advancing technologies. This chapter also highlights the pursuing impacts and challenges of the initiatives on teachers, students, selected schools, and their receptions to change.

Recent advances in Information and Communication Technology (ICT) provide an opportunity to build a self growing and sharing virtual environment for teaching and learning. Cloud computing is one of the latest technological advancement in ICT domain. Cloud computing technologies have changed the way applications are developed and accessed. A Virtual Learning Environment (VLE) is a system for delivering learning materials to students via the web. Cloud computing is provides one of the most emerging cost effective solution for virtual learning and teaching environment. This paper discusses how cloud computing has been contributing to virtual learning environment and an overview of the current state of the structure of Cloud Computing based e-learning is discussed. The readers will also find a brief overview of cloud computing and the different efficient cloud based virtual learning models. Towards the end different offers from different cloud vendors are discussed.

Virtual Learning Environment (VLE) is the learning through electronic media where teachers and students are not in the same place, but the gap is bridged by the use of technologies. The aim of this study is to develop a 3D virtual learning environment (3D VLE). The three objectives of this study are (i) to gather the requirements of 3D VLE, (ii) to design the 3D VLE, and (iii) to develop the 3D VLE. The method consists of five phases; (i) literature review, (ii) requirement gathering, (iii) design, (iv) development and (v) evaluation. The prototype is developed by using Open Simulator, SLOODLE and Moodle. Future work includes enhancement for 3D VLE such as using gesture recognition to control the avatar movement.

XX–XXI century technological breakthrough created a new ideology and philosophy of education that influenced all education system: new teaching and learning measures have created new teaching methods. Education of nowadays is associated with the use of information and communication tools. We often mentioned the words “virtual learning”, “distance learning” or “e-learning”. In general, these terms can be regarded as synonymous, because they generally mean a distance learning. Predicting the perspective of distance learning for this type of education has been established a special software that provides the proper functioning of various e-measures. This program is called open source virtual environments development software (usually just a “virtual learning environment” or in short VLE). In the period of 1996–2000 virtual learning environment has been created for distance education. In Lithuania the use of the virtual learning environment is growing. Almost all high schools have their own virtual environment. The interesting of VLE is growing and in the secondary schools. That is why it is important to find out what motivates teachers to use or not to use VLE. This article aims to analyze the geography teachers‘ attitudes towards education by using a VLE. The survey revealed that most of teachers, which are working with the VLE, indicates that virtual learning environment is useful, unlike teachers, who do not use VLE. They guess that virtual learning environment is useful only partly. Many teachers began using VLE to improve their classification and to make their traditional way of teaching more interesting. Teachers indicate that the VLE is improving learning process and its results, because teaching becomes interactive and therefore more interesting, resulting in increased motivation for learning.
